GAS-ZURNER;

To all 'whom it may 0072667 12 :1

Be it known that T, o T.`l\/IASTERSON, a citizen of the United' States, residing at 'Huntingtom in the County oI"' Cabell and State of West Virginia, have invented cer tain new and useful Improvements in Gas- Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates broadly to gas burners, and has for its object to provide a gas burner of simple yet eflicient construction and one wherein the fuel controlling ports are SO positioned as to promote economy in fuel Consumption without loss to th calorific output of the burner.

Another object of the invention rests in the provision of a gas. burner wherein is embodied a main fuel conducting pipe member and a superimposed burner structure which includes a burner element having a pair 'of outlets .formed thereimwhich outlets v being in communication by means of a common passageway or chamber formed n the element, the inlet of said passageway being located directly over but spaced from a port formed in the main pipe member, whereby the fuel emitted from said 'port will be introducecl into said passageway and in this manner will serve to supply the fuel necessities of both of said burner outlets.

For a further understanding of the invention, reference is to be had to the following specification and to the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the gas burner comprising the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a vertical 'longitudinal sectional View taken through one end of said burner, and,

Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional' View taken along the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Referring more particularly to the details of the invention, use is made of a gas burner A which, in its preferred embodiment, consists of 'a pair of spaced supports 1 and 2,'

and extending between said supports is a longitudinally disposed pipe member 3. The end `of said pipe member which is threaded into the support 1 isclosed, while the opposite end, carried by thesupport 2,*

intervals throughout the length `of the pipe 4.

member and through which fuel entering the pipe memberis adapted to escape'.

Located in superposecl relation with re spect to the pipe member is aburner structure B. The latter in this instance consists of an integral casting and embodies a horizontally eXtending shelf 7, which latter has its ends suitably enlargedas at 8, and screws i 9 are adapted to pass through said enlargecl ends to efi'ect the securing of the shelf to the supports ;1 and 2. Formed with the' shelf 7 is a plurality of burner elements 10 which are suitably united by means of interconnecting web portions 1 1', and each of said burner elements is `formeol `with an internally I Situated U shaped passageway or chamber 12. The latter havetheir central portions substantially widened and are formed to terminate in burner outlets 13, a

pair of' such outlets being provided to' 'each of the elements 10. Communicating with the chambers or passageways 1 2 are 'inlet ports 14; the latter in this instance are formed in suitable projections depending :from the shell? 7 and are of substantially conical formation, the enlarged lower ends 'of said ports being positioned immediately above the outlet port 6 of the pipe member' 3, but in spaced relation from the latter. so

that upon the emission of gas orother fuel fromthe port 6, the fuel will be drectcd upwardlyfinto the ports 14: and with the fuel i stream there is entrained the clesired proportion of atmospheric oxygen. This mixture is` carbureted within the chambers 12," and isthence supplied to the communicatin'g outlets 13. i v

It will"be observed that the elements ;10

are so proportioned that there will be one of said elements to each of the member ports 6,' thusthe fuel emitted 'from each of said ports 6 will supply a pair of the burner outof'liberal carburetion, very complete combustion will take place at the burner 'outlets lets 13 with their fuel necessities. By virtue of this Construction and through the agency a y 13, so thatithe fuel emitted from the pipe member 3 will be utilized with maximum eiiiciency. This Construction results in the provision of a Very economical burner and one wherein the waste of fuel is effeetively precluded.

I claim:

A gas burner comprsng a longtudnally extending ppe member having longtudnally spaced port openngs formed theren, a valve'd nlet connection dsposed at one end of said member and the opposteend of dueed outlet portons, and a pluralty of' projectons depending from said burner structure, said projectonsheng provided With EL p'1ur'a'1ty"o'f su'bstantelly funnel 15 shaped ports, the latter having their lower eXtremtes dsposed immediately above and in 'registration with said member ports, and the upper restricted ends of said projectng ;ports'termnating within the eertrally en- 20 larged portons of said outlets.
